For hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses that want direct bookings instead of portal commissions. Rooms, amenities, location and a booking flow - with photography doing the persuading.
Give each room type its own photos, occupancy and from-rate, put your best-rate-direct promise in the hero, and answer the pre-booking checklist (parking, breakfast, check-in times) in the FAQ. Directions with landmarks beat a bare map pin.
A boutique hotel pays a portal 15 to 20 percent for a guest who could have booked on its own site. The website earns its keep by being the better place to book, not just the prettier one.
Size, bed, view, bathroom, what is included, how many it sleeps. Guests compare rooms, not hotels, and a room described in one line with a single photograph loses to a portal listing that shows eight.
Check-in and check-out times, parking, whether reception is staffed late, breakfast hours, what happens with an early flight. This is what a guest checks the night before, and it is the content that portals cannot carry for you.
If booking direct gets a better rate, late checkout or free parking, say so beside the booking button. That single line is what moves the guest off the portal.
Room availability, minimum stays and seasonal rates are configured through rental availability and seasonal prices and minimum stay. More on the direct-booking argument in the hotel website guide.

It is set up for Online Booking. Those are built in rather than add-ons, so they work from the moment the site is created.
It arrives with 3 bookable services (Small Double, Deluxe Room, Executive Suite), so you are editing a working business rather than filling in an empty layout. Replace the demo content with your own as you go.
Playfair Display for headings and Lora for body text, on a palette built around #1e3a2f and #b08d57.
No. The Boutique Hotel template is edited visually in the drag-and-drop builder - no coding at any point.
